I'm just going to leave this quote here:
"This is how power works: It makes the actual people experiencing violence seem like a threat"

"Without the gender binary, there will be no more restrictive definitions of women and kan, and masculinity and femininity. Instead, there will be just your definition - one of many."

Alok is charming and the way queer people are often treated in our country is a travesty.

What a great book to explain non binary to pre teens and teens!
I read it bcs I got plastered with questions by my reading kids after Nemo winning the ESC and I wanted to be prepared.
I‘d absolutely would recommend this book for everyone!

although i have mixed thoughts about some few arguments presented in this short book, i commend how Alok dismantled most prejudices towards nonconforming gender binary through concise and on point discussion. it is a short eye opener for a lot of things we still don't understand about gender. an even thought-provoking discussion regarding the way society has infused fixed concepts of gender in our daily lives to disregard the issue of oppression and violence happening in the nonconforming community.
got a lot of takeaways in this book. highly recommend.
